I've created a Google sledding map of Indianapolis for those who are interested. The information is based on a list from a Dec. 21, 2006, story in The Indianapolis Star (so, some of the places might or might not have changed policies since). I've left the map open for editing, for those who know sledding better than me ... feel free and review ...

The list it's based on:

Location, Location, Location

Alas, most of Indy is flat, and one of the best sledding spots in town vanished last year when Butler University leveled it to make room for a parking lot. (Remember, this is a 2006 story.)

But never fear! There are still several places you can go (check your city's parks and recreation department for a sledding site nearest you):
